Direct3D quick question.
Author
In the D3DXCOLOR structure could somebody please tell me what are the minimum and maximum values of the data members. They are listed as floats, so is this the usual 0.0f to 1.0f range? There was no mention of the limits in the SDK upon a quick perusal.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards.

so basically u would put in the percentage over a hundred for colour.
like
0.33 would be 33% of possible RED/GREEN/BLUE

D3DCOLORVALUE lights can have r,g and b greater than 1 and less than 0. For lights, greater than 1 gives a very bright light, and negative lights are "Dark" lights. Given that D3DXCOLOR has a D3DCOLORVALUE conversion operator (converts D3DXCOLOR to D3DCOLORVALUE), I'd expect it to follow the same rules (i.e. allow values outside the 0...1 range)

Ok, I will have to run some tests then, one other question though.
I have a struct which contains a D3DCOLOR memeber, it is initialised like this:
However later in the code I need to adjust the alpha value, say subtract 0.1 from it.
How can I do this? I looked in the SDK and I can't find any information about the contents of the D3DCOLOR type, is there a function to extract the individual fields or similar?
Thanks again for any help.
Regards.

D3DCOLOR Color = D3DXCOLOR(r, g, b, a);// Whereby r, g, b, and a are floats between 0 and 1However later in the code I need to adjust the alpha value, say subtract 0.1 from it.

If you take a look at d3d9types.h, you'll see this:
// D3DCOLOR is equivalent to D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
#ifndef D3DCOLOR_DEFINED
typedef DWORD D3DCOLOR;
#define D3DCOLOR_DEFINED
#endif
So it's just a DWORD: 0xAARRGGBB
// D3DCOLOR is equivalent to D3DFMT_A8R8G8B8
#ifndef D3DCOLOR_DEFINED
typedef DWORD D3DCOLOR;
#define D3DCOLOR_DEFINED
#endif
